55 gallon Lake Malawi Biotope construction

And I know they're tanganyikans, but a pair of julidochromis would do great in a tank like that, they're rock dwellers that establish a territory within the rocks, awesome little guys

Thanks a lot!. Maybe it could be a lake Tanganyika biotope instead of lake Malawi.
My first plan was to do yellow lab cichlids, but maybe i will try julidochromis cichlids. Do you know where i could get some and are they easy to care for?

Cool! how many fish will you have?

Im guessing roughly 12-15. The tank looks very nice by the way. Here is my set up.

Nice tank!

Thats my 90 gal.

Thanks for your reply.

Only a single pair of Julies would work as thy can be highly territorial toward each other. I have heard of them being kept with malawis, under the right conditions

Maybe i won't get Julies because i would like yellow labs and If i had lake Malawi cichlids mixed with Tanganyika Cichlids then it won't be a biotope, plus we shouldn't mix cichlids together in the same tank that are from different lakes.

I'm just saying it can be done, and there are several people that do it.

 

[VTFish]

Yeah your right.

Can anyone else tell me what you think of the scape so far in the aquarium?
